Are you in-house, and your client is the business? Or are you outside counsel? If you're in-house, 3 to 5 bullet points, relevant info only.

How much background knowledge do they have? It’s a lot easier to hit the key points quickly if they have a basis.

An outside counsel once sent me firms articles/ blogs

A comprehensive state comparison chart, applicability and clients obligations.

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming.
